Pasig is one of the oldest cities in the Philippines – and one of the greenest. From promoting solar energy to totally transforming public transport, Pasig’s sustainability strategy is focused on the future.

On popular “Car-less Sundays,” five major roads in Pasig are closed to traffic and open for residents to come together and take over on foot, bike, skateboard and wheelchair. Reducing emissions and encouraging people to get outdoors and get active – it’s win-win in every way. The city is also expanding its pedestrian and cycling pathways to make non-motorized travel popular every day of the week. Pasig has a goal to cut its overall emissions 10% by 2020.

WHY WE LOVE CITIES

Over half the world’s population now live in cities, and they generate over 70% of our climate footprint. But cities also offer an immense opportunity to create better places to live while contributing to a healthier planet in the process. Through better transport, green buildings, harnessing the power of nature, wasting less and loving more, cities can lead the way to a climate-friendly future.
